I picked up one of these fanless cases, with aluminum heat sink built in, seems to work pretty well - https://flirc.tv/more/raspberry-pi-4-case https://flirc.tv

I use these too! The case contacts with the CPU inside via a thermal pad and the entire outside of the case becomes the heatsink. It's a really clever design. Stays cool, no fan.

I've been very happy with these as well.

Do you know of EU delivery options?

  Amazon UK has it, so maybe other Amazons too.

If only they had a version that leaves the gpio pins accessible...

  There is a gap for a ribbon cable, like this one: https://octopart.com/search?q=IDSD-20-D-06.00 https://octopart.com/search?q=IDSD-20-D-06.00

  From the site: "GPIO pins are accessible through the slot on the bottom of the case" I wish there was a pic. If you find the one for Pi Zero, it shows a slot for GPIO access.

    Ah that's useful, thank you.

  I use this one a lot: https://www.kiwi-electronics.nl/aluminium-heatsink-behuizing-voor-de-raspberry-pi-4 https://www.kiwi-electronics.nl/aluminium-heatsink-behuizing.... I does get warm to the touch, but not close to throttling. It seems to be available on Amazon if you do a Google Image search. I have Amazon domains blocked by DNS so I didn’t see the full URL

    Have the same one form eBay, works great even with the pi4 overclocked to 1.9Ghz.

    Yeah I was looking at that one earlier - are there holes on it to mount it to a wall? I can't quite tell from any of the pictures I can find.

I have an Argon NEO: https://www.argon40.com/argon-neo-raspberry-pi-4-case.html https://www.argon40.com/argon-neo-raspberry-pi-4-case.html It gets hot to the touch, so I presume that it's dissipating heat like it's supposed to.
